The number of coronavirus cases in Pune city, Pimpri Chinchwad and the district are increasing rapidly. There have also been complaints regarding poor health system, shortage of oxygen cylinders and ambulances in Pune.
Deputy Chief Minister of the state and the Guardian Minister of Pune Ajit Pawar has also admitted that we have made some mistakes in handling the covid-19 situation in Pune.
Ajit Pawar on Saturday reached out to the Union government seeking better COVID-19 facilities in the state to contain the rising numbers of coronavirus, especially in Mumbai and Pune.
“We have informed Center through Union Minister Prakash Javadekar, that oxygen cylinders should be provided to health facilities at a 50-50 ratio so that equal share is supplied to both health services and industries,” the minister said.
“I have asked officials to install CCTVs inside jumbo COVID Hospital and a TV outside it so that relatives of the patients can at least see their patients inside through TV since they can’t enter the hospital,” he added.
